i'm 35 weeks. i smoked a lot in the beginning of my pregnancy mainly because of morning sickness. i could not get an appetite if i didn't. i started to slow down around 20 weeks where i would only take a tiny hit here and there when i felt really anxious. i took my last hit a week ago right at 34 weeks and i am freaking out that it's gonna be in my baby's poop and that they're gonna take her away or open a case on me. i regret it so much and i feel like ***. anyone have advice or experience with this?

Read through some of the moms experiences, nothing sounds too bad. Sounds like CPS just checks to see if you're in a good environment and you have to test clean for your check in. Some hospitals test and some don't. You can call and check where you're delivering. Good luck mama.

They will l not test baby unless they suspect you, like 90% of the time. Make sure you can pre clean, and as long as they haven't tested you at your appointment and failed, they have no reason the suspect anything. Just keep telling yourself that worst case scenario, a social worker comes to see you, and you have to pass a few drug tests before you can smoke again. They will not just take baby, even if you got the meanest case worker and judge known to the world, they still wouldn't remove your baby for weed only unless they drop you again later and you still can't pass, your unstable, or unable to provide for baby, or doing things other than just weed. Every state and every hospital does things a little different, but this is pretty standard.

Just out of curiosity, did they take and test you're ursine or blood first? If you stopped at 38 weeks, so if that's the case than you would still pee dirty, which would than prompt them to test LO? And I'm very sorry your going through this!!! It is truly awful that they stress us out over something that's completely natural, hadn't been linked to any birth defects, and really has been shown to potentially do good for a pregnant mama and child if consumed in moderation, I hope you get things straightened out without too much stress or problems!!

To avoid any issues with this and wanting an all natural birth anyways, we gave birth at a birthing center and had an amazing experience. It's a good feeling not worrying about testing and focusing on bonding with baby

i live in ohio, i gave birth 4 days ago. my urine was positive at birth, babys was not. cps is invovled now. they are coming to my house every month, me and my boyfriend both have to do a drug assesment, and i will be drug tested every month. smoking was defenitly not worth all of this. but they did come check my house before i took her home and they did let me take her home.

I quit shortly before getting pregnant and was so stressed today I almost hit a joint. there aren't any definitive studies that show there is a risk to the baby. just a smaller birthweight due to increased metabolism. you're not at risk of having your child taken away UNLESS you're either on probation or in a custody battle. if you are not currently with your child's father, I recommend you quit even if you have a good relationship. stay strong hun and smoke one for me since I can't lol
